A report from Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center discusses the use of complementary and integrative medicine (CIM) therapies in pediatric oncology settings. The research found that while these therapies have known benefits in reducing side-effects and improving caregiver health, they are not widely used in the United States. The study aimed to explore the factors that contribute to caregivers' decisions to use CIM for their child's care. The findings highlight the importance of factors such as child age, beliefs, and needs, as well as enabling factors like resources and accessibility. The research suggests that caregivers may benefit from support that improves these enabling factors. [Extracted from the article] |
